The Emma Project

This book holds a galaxy of depth in its pages; it is powerful and loving, sensual and layered. Sonali Dev's writing is glorious. -- Christina Lauren, <em>New York Times </em>bestselling author, on <em>Incense and Sensibility</em> Incense and Sensibility is a tender, well-crafted novel, as much about finding purpose as it is about falling in love. Dev writes with such rare empathy and humor that I often found myself holding my breath on one page only to be giggling by the next. This is the kind of book you finish with a whole-body, happy sigh and a warm ache in your chest where the characters will live on. Yash and India's story will stick with me for a long time. -- Emily Henry, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author A delight from start to finish, both for Jane Austen fans looking for a fresh take and readers seeking deeply felt relationships and complicated family dynamics. In Dev's world, the past is alive in the present; I was wholly engrossed and had plenty to think about. At the same time, the reality TV storyline added a thread of pure fun escapism-something all of us need right now. -- Joshilyn Jackson, <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author, on <em>Recipe for Persuasion</em> Dev continues the story of the Raje family with this nuanced and powerful second chance romance, a loose riff on Jane Austen's Persuasion. Dev balances the toe-curling romance with high-octane family drama...[her] candor and sensitivity in both story lines set this family-centric romance apart. Readers are sure to be impressed. -- <em>Publishers Weekly</em> (starred review) on <em>Recipe for Persuasion</em> Clever allusions to Persuasion aside (even Jane Austen fans will be challenged to spot them all), this is a sumptuously multilayered story about the ways love gets tangled in family life and romantic relationships. -- <em>Library Journal</em> (starred review) on <em>Recipe for Persuasion</em>
